...was the day we lost my mom. This last Saturday was the day my kids had their dance photos taken, and my mom NEVER missed a recital. She loved to watch my girls dance, she'd even attend a class or two during the year so she could watch them. Last year my kids weren't able to attend picture day at the studio because it was the last day my mom was alive (although I didn't know it that day - all we knew was she was really sick and that they couldn't do anything else to save her), so Husband and I were at the hospital most of the day.
I thought a lot about her on Saturday while doing the girls' hair and makeup, getting them dressed, watching them preen in front of the mirrors.
When we got home from the studio I snapped off a couple of pictures since they looked so cute. (My DD1 completely has my mother's smile!)
I miss you, mom.

Oh Dodi. I know the ache of having your mom not be here to see your kids growing and thriving. At times that is what I miss most about her...at others, its just knowing that I can't pick up and phone and laugh with her.
I won't lie to you, it doesn't go away, it just gets *different* with time.
PS...the girls are adorable...I am waiting for the someday-granddaughter after having 3 sons!
We miss her too... I wish she would have been able to see my kids do what they love. Hugs to all in denver today!
What a year. Last year it was "the first time without mom" this year is "a year ago, we were doing this without mom". Here's to the journey...
You know I"m thinking about you...today and always!
Hugs...

(Again, I know I'm late) I hope that with time the hurt and ache of the loss with lessen. I hope for you to find peace with your Mother's passing. The Maternal connection brings up so much within us, such deep connections and memories like no one else can create. HUGS
